Love in Yunlin – The mobile goods’ store

On the 21st of September, a joint press conference was held by Yunlin County Government outside the ‘Love in Yunlin’ mobile goods’ store, run by social welfare organizations in the county. Department of Social Affairs head, Ding Yanzhe, who presided over the event, said it was hoped that through this joint press conference Yunlin citizens would come out to support social welfare organizations and associated products, for example, buying Mid-Autumn Festival gifts and souvenirs on offer.

Dep. of Social Affairs head, Ding Yanzhe pointed out that the event was raised with funds from the county government’s disability welfare department and public lottery funds. A wide selection of Mid-Autumn Festival products produced by various social welfare organizations, grassroots organizations representing the weak and vulnerable, and various other NPOs (nonprofit organizations) were on display. It is hoped that by building a network of mobile goods’ stores, NPOs will be given an outlet for their merchandise. Of course it is important that citizens open up their hearts and support the community through purchasing goods, giving encouragement to the vulnerable members in our society. On seeing the high quality of products on offer from the various social-welfare groups, legislator Liu Jian-Guo was deeply moved stating that the products come about only after painstaking study and a lot of hard work, and really deserved our backing. The goodwill of public authorities and consumer support for the venture are extremely significant. It is hoped that everyone will come and give practical support through buying products from the various social-welfare organizations.

Over 10 groups from Yunlin converged together at the activity. Sales reps put on a small exhibition from the mobile goods’ store from where a selection of cultural-orientated and creative products were on sale. This included Mid-Autumn Festival products and a charity jumble sale. If anyone is interested in supporting these activities you can contact Yunlin LOHAS, which also conducts brilliant carnival-style programs and performances, epitomizing the dynamism and efforts of social welfare organizations in Yunlin.
